in reply to The Apostrophe According To St Paul

If you are using Apache on *nix you can make a dir/subdirs readable in a browser simply by making that dir world readable (readable by apache) with chmod. Provided you don't have an index.htm (or whatever your config details as the defualt) Apache will produce a nice browsable dir listing for you.

    That assumes you have a install of Apache that includes mod_dir. That module is included in the default build. I would never put a default Apache build on a production box. But, that's just me.

    Then there are Damian modules.... *sigh* ... that's not about being less-lazy -- that's about being on some really good drugs -- you know, there is no spoon. - flyingmoose

    I shouldn't have to say this, but any code, unless otherwise stated, is untested

      Neither do I. mod_perl and mod_rewrite and getting the latest patches are amongst the reasons, not excluding mod_dir ;-)
